Exploring resistance

Weaving the Yoga Sutra: Exploring resistance

What do you resist?

Resistance tends to arise at the boundaries between pain and tolerable discomfort. How does resistance manifest itself in you? What can we do when we feel resistance? Is our resistance a way of defending our sense of self? Is it possible that our resistance is a sign that we are trying to hold on too tightly to a belief or self-concept?

Range of Awareness in Ashtanga Yoga

Weaving the Yoga Sutra: Range of Awareness in Ashtanga Yoga

Can Range of Awareness be the integrating element of all the limbs of yoga?

What happens when we explore the possible options available to us in the Yamas, Niyamas, Asana, Pratipaksha Bhavana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi? Can the idea of Range of Awareness help us enhance our sensitivity? And, what happens as we refine our sensitivity in all aspects of our yoga practice? What do we discover?

Range of Motion, Action, Awareness

Weaving the Yoga Sutra: Range of Motion, Action, Awareness

All yoga practices offer opportunities to explore and expand our awareness.

The notion of Range of Motion is expanded to mean the totality of potential range of healthy movement that we can consciously do. Range of Action is the complete set of possible variations along the many variables involved in healthy activity. Range of Action encompasses all the different aspects of you that are involved in the activity. Using your awareness to explore your range of action enriches the experience and enhances your ability to develop nuance in your practice. Presence is an ever-evolving journey of exploration that leads us to an ever-expanding integrated awareness.

Two natural tendencies

Weaving the Yoga Sutra: Two natural tendencies

Recognizing two natural tendencies that support us

To overcome tendencies toward negativity it is useful to remember that we have two very useful natural tendencies that require no effort: Moving toward feeling better and moving away from pain. Become familiar with how they feel, what happens when you move toward feeling better? What do you feel when you notice pain? How are you using these two tendencies in your own practice of all aspects of yoga?
